For months now I have been using youtube-dl to preserve all the concerts and workout videos I like on YouTube because I don't expect this content to remain available and unencumbered. My original plan was to store just the IDs on GitHub so I could recreate the video libraries without backing up the video files, but already some of the concerts have been removed. I expect the exercise videos will be hidden behind a subscription at some point since they provide utility.

I'm not claiming that 1 download = 1 lost sale.
But it's well-documented that piracy negatively affects music, film, and game studio income. See, e.g., https://www.ipi.org/ipi_issues/detail/the-true-cost-of-sound...
Piracy may the opposite effect for software but it definitely has a negative effect on entertainment related IP.
What if they lied about how much music was worth though? You can stream 10,000+ songs in one month for the price of one album today, in the early 2000s we were asked to believe that was $10,000+ worth of music and their suffering was relative to that...

For me the best part of this article is the final subhead:
> RIAA Efforts Backfire
Basically every story written about RIAA since the Clinton administration :-)
About 400 million people pay monthly for access to music instead of listening to radio, occasionally buying albums or piracy so idk if anything really backfired...

Yarn v2 PnP is simply a lifesaver if you have a medium+ sized monorepo.
We have a monorepo with 180 packages here. Without pnp, it takes 1h+ just to npm install any new third party package in any local package, it’s a joke. With pnp it takes 18s.
So yes, from my point of view NPM is completely inadequate for any serious JS codebase.
This NPM cache been a huge time-saver for me, you can run it locally or across your whole network for a shared cache -

For those that are interested in self-hosting I’ve had good success with airsonic and some of the clients for it on both iOS and Android.
On one hand it makes search a little more high-friction since My personal library will never be as huge as that of a streaming service. My workaround is treat Spotify like a radio and star songs I like to then download later.
In that way it’s a lot like interacting with music before streaming. It also forces me to curate a bit more.
Probably not for everyone, but I actually like it better, and I know that my library will always be there.
I host mine too because I'm not interested in paying ~$100/year for the rest of my life to access music, this is like welfare for tech giants and record companies and very little even trickles down to musicians. I got a Synology NAS and these days I just run the Synology operating system in a virtual machine and it's accessible via web UI or mobile apps and backs up to the cloud, this has served me very well for years now.
